VAGA had the pleasure of marching in the Middleburg Parade on Dec 4th. We had a blast! The weather was cold but sunny and the greyhounds were definitely a crowd pleaser. Many people asked us about the breed and we were very happy to share with them how special the greyhounds can be. Here are just a few pictures taken by photographer, Jeff Mauritzen. Jeff is a professional photographer with inPhotograph. He and his wife are owned by Sasha( a pretty female greyhound).

There are plenty more awesome pictures available to see on Jeff's website. Please click HERE and enjoy the pictures. They are beautiful and are a testament to the fun time we all had!

The Starfish Poem

When you wonder why you work greyhound rescue,just reflect upon the starfish poem.

As I walked along the seashoreThis young boy greeted me.He was tossing stranded starfishBack to the deep blue sea.I said, "Tell me why you bother,Why you waste your time this way.There's a million stranded starfishDoes it matter, anyway?"And he said,"It matters to this one.It deserves a chance to grow.It matters to this one.I can't save them all I know.But it matters to this one,I'll return it to the sea.It matters to this one,And it matters to me."
